Virtual Bonfire

About Virtual Bonfire Android App

The setting sun at dusk, the sky at sunset, the gentle ripples of a lake, the sunset reflected on the surface of the water, the trees swaying in the wind, the ever-changing flames, unpredictable sparks, firewoods slowly carbonizing, the soaring white smoke, the sound of burning wood, the sound of rushing water, the sound of chirping birds and insects.

Sit on the sofa, drink your favorite coffee and feel the sight of the wood burning slowly with your eyes and ears.

You can enjoy a bonfire in the manual throwing mode, and in the automatic throwing mode, firewoods will be thrown in automatically so that the fire is not extinguished.

In the natural environment, sunlight, wind speed, environmental sound, etc. can be freely adjusted. I recommend the time of day when the wind gets a little stronger and the sky begins to dim.

You can also customize the behavior of the bonfire. You can adjust the amount of flame, surface burning, sparks, smoke, and firewoods. I was concerned with the expression of the flame, but I was also concerned with the surface burning. By all means, I would like you to strengthen the surface burning and come closer and watch the bonfire carefully.

You can move freely in the space. Find your favorite place. You can come back anytime you want.

Note: You need the latest high end android device. Development is done on Sony Xperia 1 II. Compute Shader and SSBO (Shader Storage Buffer Object) functions are required. The Xperia 1 II is working fine under heavy load. I confirmed the operation with Xperia XZ, but it is quite heavy and there is a bug in drawing the sparks, so turn off the display of the sparks. If your device is heavy but can operate, you can also enjoy the bonfire itself if the forest and lake drawings are turned off.

Probably, each untested devices may have problems. I will try to fix general bugs as much as possible, but I cannot handle individual device-specific problems. Thank you for your understanding.
